At work, when I quickly want to view my source files on Windows, I use Notepad++. On a linux environment that's not a problem, because most editors support the highlighting there. But on Windows Notepad++ doesn't seem to have native support for Vala yet. So I built one. And here it is:

To add this to Notepad++, simply navigate to "View->User defined language" and click on "import" to choose the file. It'll work for vala- and vapi-files.

I gathered the information I needed from here and here as I noticed that expanding the 'langs.xml' didn't work for me.

Oh, and in case you don't know Vala yet: It's the best programming language on earth. Easy as C#, fast as C-compiled code. Because your code will be compiled to C-Code first, before a C-compiler is launched to create an executable for your machine.
